Acknowledgements

The project to compile a comprehensive database of Scottish climbing routes was started in 2017.

The SMC wishes to thank Nevil Hewitt and Roger Everett for their huge effort over the past four years in bringing this project to fruition. It also acknowledges support from Gino Di Meo, John Hall, Rob Lovell and Graham Stein, and the initial database work done by John Hutchinson, Mark Atkins and Simon Richardson, together with seed funding from the Scottish Mountaineering Trust, and support from the Scottish Mountaineering Press.

The SMC thanks all its guidebook authors and series editors, past and present, whose work provides the basis for the database. The principal authors and editors of these books are: Neil Adams, Rab Anderson, Dave Cuthbertson, Ken Crocket, Topher Dagg, Brian Davison, Allen Fyffe, Kevin Howett, Mark Hudson, Susan Jensen, Mike Lates, Graham Little, John Lyall, Wilson Moir, Colin Moody, Neil Morrison, Andy Nisbet, Tom Prentice and Simon Richardson.

Thanks are due to the editors of the SMC Journal and its New Routes Section who have diligently maintained a near comprehensive record of climbing in Scotland for well over a hundred years. The current editors are Graeme Morrison, Roger Everett and Simon Richardson, but special thanks are due to the much-missed Andy Nisbet who meticulously performed the New Route Editor role for 25 years. Andy was firmly of the opinion that communication between climbers and the sharing of information are important. This website, we hope, is in that spirit.

Finally a big thank you to everyone who has contributed new route descriptions and comments, and highlighted errors and omissions. Please continue to do so.
